Henry Van Dyke - Twilight in the AlpsHenry Van Dyke - Twilight in the Alps
Work rating: Medium


I love the hour that comes, with dusky hair     And dewy feet, along the Alpine dells To lead the cattle forth. A thousand bells     Go chiming after her across the fair And flowery uplands, while the rosy flare     Of sunset on the snowy mountain dwells, And valleys darken, and the drowsy spells     Of peace are woven through the purple air. Dear is the magic of this hour: she seems     To walk before the dark by falling rills, And lend a sweeter song to hidden streams;     She opens all the doors of night, and fills With moving bells the music of my dreams,     That wander far among the sleeping hills.
